Which of the following constututional is...

Which of the following constututional isomerism arises due to different organic groups on either side of the functional group in the molecule?

A

Chain isomerism

B

Metamerism

C

Position isomerism

D

Functional group isomerism

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Metamers have the same molecular formula but carry different organic on either side on the polyvalent functional group. For examples, `CH_3CH_2OCH_2CH_3` is a metamer of `CH_3OCH_2CH_2CH_3` and `CH_3OCH(CH_3)_2`.
